Depending on which software version you have you may need to enter setup mode and re-enter your settings. On the first startup it can take up to 2-3 minutes to sync the weather at first.
After the update is complete and the the green check mark is in the bottom of the flasher you can unplug your map and move it to its normal location.
Lights may not change colors until you restart the map manually, this is normal.
